The HIgh Priestess- INFINITE MYSTERY

The secrets behind the veil

Appearance.

The next encounter for The Fool is with the enigmatic High Priestess. In contrast with the brashness of The Magician, she is the personification of veiled power. She appears between two pillars, one white, one black, polar opposites, adorned with the letters B & J. These are highly significant and form the entrance to some Masonic Temples even today. The veil of pomegranates, the power of the Moon, the temple of the subconscious.

Interpretation.

The High Priestess has the power of second sight and proves it to The Fool by showing that she knows all about his life & lack of direction. She has information that will help him on his journey and provides it in the form of ancient wisdom contained in the scrolls that she hands him to revise. The High Priestess knows that The Magician has returned the tools from The Fool’s napsack, she also knows that he is at a loss what to do with them. Just then the light from the Moon picks out some passages on the scrolls in front of The Fool and he realises some of the options available to him. He makes a decision to move on having formulated a rudimentary plan. He is curious as to what is obscured from his vision by the pomegranate adorned curtain behind the High Priestess but knows that he is not ready for this information. They will meet again, perhaps on that occasion he may share this precious secret.
